This is giving me a strong feeling of Deja Vu!  Are you sure, Andreas, you
didn't post this several days ago?  Or is everybody saying the same thing?
("I TOO read everything, not just John Cowan; so does Christophe, but John
KNOWS everything, but I can't claim to," etc. etc.)  I'm just wondering if
my mailer is reposting things. <g>

John Leland, what was the sentence you quoted for us at the conference?
Would you be willing to post that?  I was struck by its incantatory quality.
